Secondhand

Article description

This concise text provides an essential treatment of thermodynamics and a discussion of the basic principles built on an intuitive description of the microscopic behavior of matter. Aimed at a range of courses in mechanical and aerospace engineering, the presentation explains the foundations valid at the macroscopic level in relation to what happens at the microscopic level, relying on intuitive and visual explanations which are presented with engaging cases. With ad hoc, real-word examples related to current and future renewable energy conversion technologies and online data sets of problem material for FluidProp and StanJan, two popular commercial programs used for thermodynamic calculations, this text provides students with a rich and engaging learning experience.
